My brother Bill (30M) has been trying online dating for three years but with no success. We live in a more rural area, so there aren't that many single women around his age to begin with. The ones who are available, well Bill didn't think they were good enough.
He asked me to edit his Hinge profile so he can attract a mate. I looked it over and... damn. His profile has paragraphs of what he's looking for in a woman: skinny, cute, under 30, average to high income, and lives locally. She must be into anime and gaming. The only pictures he's got are grainy selfies or pictures with one or both parents. Mostly our mom.
Bill lives with our parents and has been working as a door greeter at Walmart since he was 18.
I told Bill that he doesn't need to overhaul his page, he needs to overhaul his life. No woman meeting his wants would want to date an obese thirty-year-old living off of his parents and working a job Walmart normally gives to old people to stay busy.
Bill freaked out on me and told our mom. She's upset because I tried to tear him down when he needed my help. She wants me to apologize, but what's there to apologize? I just told Bill what was wrong and that he should consider changing his life if he really wants what he wants. AITA?
